Hi everyone-
I just discovered this forum, and I'm looking forward to getting to know other posters.
I was diagnosed w/ Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism when I was 5 wks pregnant a couple of years ago. I'm on Synthroid. An ultrasound done a few months ago showed many nodules with one measuring about 1.5 cm in length but very narrow width. It was not biopsied but will be check again in a few months.
Has anyone else experienced hives? Do you have any suggestions? The itching really, really gets to me at times. The hives cover 2/3 of my body when they are at their worst. Claritin helps a little but doesn't make them go away. I"m trying to get pregnant now and not taking the Claritin.
Any help and info will be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
I suffer from hives often. don't scratch it makes it worse and try as hard as you can to not think about it. I have found that benedryl works best for me, way better than claritin.
when i get hives really bad my doctor gives me Atarax.
I've been getting hives around my neck for the last few months. Kinda looks like hickies ( I wish!!!!.) I had TT in Dec 02 and RAI 0n Jan 07. I mentioned it to my endo on the last visit, but I don't think she was listening. I'm hyper cause of meds level due to thyca. I was also diagnosed with Graves Disease in Sep 06.
You know i also get little rashes here and there,sometimes whelps.They go away usually pretty quickly. Also,at times i feel like something is walking on my skin. I always blamed it on new perfume,soap,lotion,etc. You know it could be something associated with HASH'S.!!!!!!?????????

Does your dr think the hives are related to thyroid problems?
